About DX
DX is a regional carrier punching well above its weight across northern and central Europe. Built around a tight 42-route network spanning 28 airports, this is an airline that clearly knows its lane — short-to-medium haul connections where the big guys don't bother or can't compete on frequency. The main hub is Bornholm (RNN), which tells you everything: this isn't a legacy carrier chasing intercontinental glory. It's a practical, point-to-point operation stitching together Scandinavia, Germany, and Italy across a total network footprint of roughly 15,650 km. Italy and Germany dominate the route map with 12 and 10 routes respectively, giving DX a distinctly southern-facing character despite its Danish roots. Norway pulls equal weight with Germany at 10 routes, making OSL another serious operational base worth paying attention to.
Why fly DX?
The honest answer: DX earns your ticket money through route specificity. If you're trying to reach Bornholm without a ferry or a connection through Copenhagen, DX is often your only real option. That kind of monopoly positioning on thinner routes typically means less price competition, but it also means reliability — the airline has real commercial incentive to keep those flights running. The Italy-heavy route map (12 routes) is a genuine advantage for travelers working that corridor from Scandinavia or Germany. MUC gives you three routes into the network if you're already positioned in Bavaria. The longest route, EVE to OLA at 620 km, hints at a fleet comfortable on short regional legs — exactly the kind of flying where bigger airlines pile on connection fees and wasted layover time.

Tips for booking DX
First thing to check: whether your specific route operates out of RNN, OSL, or MUC, because the passenger experience and ground handling can vary a lot between those bases. RNN is a small airport — arrive early, there's no cushion if something goes wrong at security. With only four routes out of Bornholm, missed connections hurt badly. Italy routes via this network tend to serve smaller regional airports, so always verify which terminal and whether your onward ground transport actually matches the arrival schedule. DX's network size means fare class options are limited — book early, because thin routes fill faster than you'd expect and prices spike sharply in the final two weeks.
